“A Bronx Tale” Sings And Dances In To S.F.

By Chris Narloch

If you’re looking for something fun to do this holiday season, I highly recommend that you drive over to San Francisco and check out the festive department store windows around Union Square and have dinner at one of the fine establishments in the Bay Area. (Brenda’s, on Polk Street, is my favorite place to eat in San Francisco.)

Make sure that you do so before December 23, 2018, however, so you can also see the entertaining new musical “A Bronx Tale,” which is currently playing at San Francisco’s SHN Golden Gate Theatre.

Sacramento author J. Scott Coatsworth has written and published a number of short stories, novellas and full-length novels, but “The River City Chronicles” holds a special place in his little writer heart.

In many ways, it is a love letter to Sacramento, one that we wanted to share with Outword’s readers. To do that we have uploaded the next installment of chapters of the book here, for you to read online.

It must be just a coincidence – since major movies are often green-lit a year or two in advance of their release – but the post-#MeToo period is producing some fantastic feminist heroines on the big screen.

Read on for my reviews of three ball-busting chick flicks, currently playing at multiplexes in and around Sacramento, that are perfect for holiday movie going after your Thanksgiving and Black Friday festivities.
